Around the world, people who profess belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ are increasingly being treated as criminals for taking a stand on biblical principles. Why is this happening, and what does it mean?

The Apostle Peter warned that false teachers would "bring in destructive heresies" and blaspheme the truth with deceptive words because "they have forsaken the right way and gone astray" (2 Peter 2:1–15). The Apostle Jude warned of "ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness" (Jude 4). We are watching this happen today!

Great Britain and the United States of America are teetering on the brink of economic collapse and national demise.

In recent decades, Roman Catholic popes and Eastern Orthodox patriarchs have inched toward healing the Great Schism, meeting and praying together and contemplating what would have been previously unthinkable!

Jesus Christ's words to seven groups of first-century Christians are not just ancient history. They reveal the spiritual condition of God's Church throughout history, and explain how you can resist the pull of a lukewarm era!
